This 1939 studio portrait shows Florida Senator Claude Pepper with his wife and Bert Fish, a fellow Floridian in public life, posed together in Washington. Pepper had entered the Senate in 1936 as a Democrat and was a strong supporter of New Deal programs, so the photograph captures a moment when Florida's political figures were active in the capital. The Harris & Ewing studio, based in Washington, made thousands of formal portraits of lawmakers and officials across several decades, and its images are now a valuable record of the period's political life.
